BREAKING: Blue Acres Program & Stormwater Assistance Announcement
One of DEP’s most important jobs is protecting people and property from flood hazards.
That’s why Governor Phil Murphy recently announced:
✅$50 million investment in the Blue Acres program for Ida-impacted communities
✅$10 million in community stormwater assistance grants
🏠 New Jersey’s Blue Acres program allows homeowners to sell flood-damaged or flood-prone homes at a market rate to the state, after which the home is demolished and the land preserved for open space, recreational purposes or permanent wetlands.
🏠 And the $50 million Blue Acres investment includes prioritizing the purchase of homes in Ida-impacted communities that are now uninhabitable because they were either destroyed or severely damaged by the storm.
